Vanderbilt Student Health CoalitionBill Dow, essentially the founder of the Vanderbilt Student Health Coalition as well as its primary sustaining driver in its first six to seven years, was significantly influenced by the work of Jack Geiger and John Hatch at the Mound Bayou community. The creation of their community health clinic preceded by a year, in 1968, the launching of the Student Health Coalition in 1969. Dow left Tennessee in the later '70's, shifting gears to farming, food justice, co-founding the Carrboro Farmers Market, and among the first, if not the first, certified organic gardener in the state. He popularized 'farm to table' locally, in the 'modern era', before such became a popular term. (Information courtesy of Paul Joffrion)
